Commercials

 


Harley and Lexi...they get along, why can't everyone follow this? Oh well, one can dream. No word,yet, from the city, keep fingers crossed. 

For the most part, commercials are irritating, annoying and a pain. Every once in a while, we have very funny ones, or beautiful ones. They also have used or composed music that becomes a hit which is where I am heading. Let's see if you like these ditties. I am joining in on Freebie week over at Monday Music Moves Me. 

1. I LIKE TO TEACH A SONG TO SING SUNG BY A VARIETY OF PEOPLE-1970



I have showcased the original commercial along with the newer version which is longer. I always loved this song and found it hopeful.

2. THEME FROM LAKME FLOWER DUET BRITISH AIRWAYS-1989


It comes from Delibes 1883 Opera, “Lakme”  the flower duet  which is so enchanting and has been recorded many, many times.


I love Katherine Jenkins and Kiri Te Kanawa who sing this with such exquisiteness that it leaves me speechless. I’m on a kick, right now, listening to Katherine Jenkins.

3. DE BEERS DIAMOND AD-1993


When I heard this music, I was enthralled and thought, it was, for sure, by Vivaldi. So did many people and, before you knew it, people were requesting this song to be played on the classical radio station. I totally understand why.


I had no idea it was written by a Welshman born in 1949. Obviously, he was influenced by by Vivaldi but, no matter, it’s just so pretty.

Any music from a commercial that you love?
